That last run was a killer and will be talked about in the highlights for YEARS to come..

You can stick a fork in those Saints.. 3:00 might as well be another season because there is no way they will score 11 on these guys to win this game..

Lynch's run was a pleasure to see. 6 broken tackles and a TD. Phenomenal!

Looks like the 'hawks stopped by the Gameface store on the way to the stadium.

Lynch's run looked like a rehearsal for some feel-good Hollywood movie. "The Natural", except with football. Rarely seen anything like that.

Did you see the way he just threw the, what, sixth guy that tried to tackle him? That guy flew some ten feet!

That was a great stiff arm. It's plays like that that I love to see in football. What a run! Buffalo gave this guy up?

Lynch's run was classic, but the big difference in the game overall was the crowd noise & its effect on the Saints' offense and the officials; Seattle has always had a ridiculously disproportionate home field advantage, and one has to wonder about the fairness of rewarding a 7-9 team with a home game, even if it was a 'division champion'.

New Orleans has a wide national following because of the 'feel-good' factor; the franchise has become a big money-maker and advertising symbol for the NFL, and now they've been eliminated early by a team that couldn't even get to .500.

Watch to see if the playoff rules don't change significantly to prevent this sort of upset in the future, just like they changed the playoff overtime rules because Brett Favre's Legacy (and the Vikings) was ousted without a chance at the ball in last year's overtime loss in the playoffs.
